Dear European leaders at Davos,

If you want this asshole to shut up, stand up and walk out

If they don’t invoke the 25 amendment after this speech in Davos, the GOP is complicit in allowing a hopelessly demented idiot to destroy that last vestiges of respect the world would have for the US. He’s ranting, babbling lies and nonsense. He doesn’t know the difference between Iceland and Greenland. Someone needs to grab him by the elbow and usher him off stage. It’s humiliating.

(AP) At least four times in his remarks at Davos so far, Trump has referred to Greenland as “Iceland.”

“They’re not there for us on Iceland that I can tell you,” Trump said of NATO partners. “I mean, our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland, so Iceland’s already cost us a lot of money.”

He also did that a day earlier during a marathon news conference at the White House.

(Politico) Well, it happened. A great role model for all those oppressed by Trump. He has publicly backed down at DAVOS from using force to seize Greenland. The EU, Canada, and others MADE THIS HAPPEN. NOW, GOP, CAN YOU LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS? www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

Trump rules out using force to...

When Trump dies we get Vance. Thiel’s pet. They'll blame a lot of stuff on Trump AND try to fast-track an even uglier white supremacist techno-Christofascism. We must prept for this now & organize accordingly. Grassroots activism, coalitions. Dissent. Sand in gears. Strikes. Every angle.

Saying he doubts that NATO would come to our defense. The only time article 5 was ever implemented was on 9/11, so yes, NATO completely came to our defense and many countries lost many lives since 9/11, to assist the US.

@jeridansky It really is. You're always ready for the older folks to go, but not the kids.

@timo21 it's a big blow. Death never comes to those who deserve it, does it.

My cousin is being removed from life-support tomorrow after suffering cardiac arrest last week and now being declared brain dead. Not even 40 years old. Leaving behind a wife and young son. God's love, my ass.

The number of confirmed #measles cases in South Carolina has hit an astonishing 558 in an outbreak that started in October. For context: that is more cases in 4 months than the entire US racked up most years in the past 30+ years. reuters.com/business/healthcar

the "I Have a Dream" speech is important

"Letter from a Birmingham Jail" is a must read

@TreeVor agreed. We will have signed our own death warrant. And frankly, it might be for the best. If the EU calls in its debts, the very very best financial decision blue States can do to protect the massive corporations headquartered here is to pursue financial arrangements directly with EU/NATO member states. When that starts happening, America is officially done.
